    Use GoogleWebLight.com to speed up website loading time! & reduce data consumption on your mobile (Android/iOS) and PC too!

    Many times our cellular data connection’s speed is quite slow be it 2G or 3G , which hampers the loading speed or even simple loading of a website on our mobile devices. Some websites even have some type of ads, which don’t let users view content without clicking on “Skip ad” and some even fail to show the content despite clicking on the ad(e.g mobile.ndtv.com) , or many websites simply put too many images affecting the loading time on our cellphones. All of these combined simply hampers our browsing and reading experience, but not any more – Google light web, or google lite search as its called helps overcome these problems by simply parsing a website’s pages in a mobile-friendly readable format.

    If you’re a webmaster you might have come across traffic from sources such as icl.googleusercontent.com , or googleweblight.com . These are nothing but search traffic with your website optimized for mobile viewing by Google, and you can use the above google URLs to even transcode any other website traffic on your slow/data intensive cellular network to save extra data costs and reduce loading time.

    Method to use GoogleWebLight.com and icl.googleusercontent.com to view optimised websites –

    google light web
    • Simply prepend (write before the actual URL) the following URL strings to load the website in Google optimized mobile format –http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=http://http://icl.googleusercontent.com/?lite_url=http:// 
    • For e.g if you want to visit our blog techapple.net through the Google mobile transcoder , simply enter –
      http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=https://techapple.net
      in your browser and voila! it will load techapple.net in mobile optimized format!. (You can check out the alongside image for url prepend format)
    • Similarly you can use it to view other websites too in mobile optimized format , ex
      http://icl.googleusercontent.com/?lite_url=http://www.firstpost.com ,
      http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=http://mobile.ndtv.com etc.
    • Thus, you can now save on traffic as well as reduce consumption time on any websites you like to visit .
    • You can also use these transcoders on your Desktop / PC as well as if your visited website loading is very slow , and its taking a high time to load.

    Note – If you are an Android user , you can check out the below tutorial to allow internet access only to selected app & restricting other apps background data to access Internet, thus saving your data consumption – Click here for tutorial to allow access to only selected apps on Android using Android Firewall

    Sadly, https requiring websites aren’t fully supported yet by Google transcoder, nor video/active javascript content ones , but nevertheless its a great tool and way to speed-up loading and if all you’re interested in is reading content, the transcoder makes it a pleasure reading the content of websites. Do feel to comment your views and problems faced while using Google Light web (googleweblight.com) transcoding services.

  • Top 7 Free Disposable/ Temporary Email address providers for Quick Sign-ups and Spam protection

    Top 7 Free Disposable/ Temporary Email address providers for Quick Sign-ups and Spam protection

    All of us hate email spam, and many times our inbox is simply flooded with spam,newletters and useless emails which simply waste our time as well as email space. Also you might have been forced to sign-up on some websites which ask you for your e-mail and don’t let you access the content you want to without entering email address. Or you might simply be requiring the email address for quick sign-up just for validation purposes . In all of above scenarios and many more disposable / temporary email services will come to your rescue . Let’s get a look on what are temporary email address, why should you use them ? and the best disposable email address service providers –

    What are Disposable / Temporary Email addresses?
    In simple words, these are the email addresses which aren’t owned by you, but are public and therefore they don’t require any passwords to access them.

    Why to use Disposable / Temporary emails ?
    We need to use them to protect our primary emails from spam, and from unwanted emails coming in to our inbox.

    The Top 7 Free Temporary email address service providers are as follows –

    No 1 – 10MinuteMail.com

    10MinuteMail

    10MinuteMail is getairmail.com alternative & probably the most easy to use temporary email address service provider. All you need to do is visit 10minutemail.com and it’ll display you your temporary email address which is valid for 10 minutes!. You can then use it to sign-up and receive emails. The address is discarded after 10 minutes however it provides the option to extend the session by 10 minutes unlimited times (until the tab isn’t closed).

    No 2 – Mailinator.com

    Mailinator

    Mailinator is yet another email address service but with a twist, unlike 10minutemail you don’t need to open the website to create a temporary email address for you, but it has been already created! . Whenever signing-up on websites just type in your email address as “yourselectedtext@mailinator.com” , and once you’ve signed up, simply access your email on http://yourselectedtext.mailinator.com . And voila! you’ll find that your e-mail has already arrived! . The only disadvantage of using mailinator is that all email addresses are public and can be accessed by anyone (accidentally if someone else selects the same text you selected). but its very rare. E-Mails are stored for 1 hour before they’re discarded.

    No – 3 Yopmail.com

    YopMail

    Yopmail is just another service like or an alternative to Mailinator, where your email address is already created. And the procedure too is pretty same , while signing-up use “anytexther[email protected]” , and later for accessing the emails you can use the same trick visiting http://anytexthere.yopmail.com . Yopmail is my personal favorite due to the fact it stores the emails for a much longer time as compared to other disposable email address providers.

    No 4 – MintEmail.com

    Mintemail

    Mintemail.com can be classified as an advanced alternative of 10minutemail.com, which gives you a pre-defined address like 10minutemail. But it also has a major advantage that it will update the tab title automatically whenever an email arrives at your temporary email address. Thus, you can work in different tab without having to worry about email address expiration or missing out.

    No – 5 Maildrop.cc

    Maildrop

    Functionality wise maildrop.cc is same as that of mailinator, all the email addresses are pre-created (e.g anything@maildrop.cc) , but to access the emails you need to first visit http://maildrop.cc , and then enter your selected text (e.g anything) to access the mailbox (e.g [email protected]).

    No 6 – Guerillamail.com

    Provides an Inbox as well as a temporary outbox

    Guerillamail.com is a temporary address providing service but with some good additional features which might come in handy. All the above services just provide a temporary ‘inbox’ for receiving incoming emails, but guerillamail.com goes one step ahead and even provides a temporary outbox which can be used to send emails with the same temporary email address. This is really a very handy feature and can be used as a sort of anonymous email with composing as well as receiving facility!

    No 7 – Jetable.org

    Jetable.org

    More than an temporary email address service, Jetable can be described as an Anti-Spam solution and works in a unique way! .Some websites may blacklist temporary email addresses but in such cases Jetable can help you get out , what it does is it first verifies your original email address, and according to your choice it helps you create a temporary email address for a specific time frame (Upto 1 Month) and forwards all the mails coming to that temporary email address to your original email address. Thus, by limiting public access, as well as increasing the temporary email address lifespan it really does a goo job!. Not only that, the temporary address is permanently deleted after its lifespan so no one else can get access to it.

    So, these were the Top 7 Free Temporary / Disposable email address service providers , if you know any good of such services feel free to comment. Also, you might be interested in Simple Tricks to use a Single Gmail address as Multiple ones!

    3 ways to use a single-1 Gmail id as many-multiple ids! Gmail dot trick (.) and + plus tricks!

    Heya folks, E-Mail or electronic mail is the most widely used means of communication over the Internet , also its kinda an impression of a person’s online identity. GMail is one such popular e-mail service provided by Google!. But do you know that a single or even one GMail ID can be used as multiple ID’s which we can use to perform multiple sign-ups ! , thus saving the troublesome task of creating multiple e-mail accounts for different accounts on a single site . A single Gmail ID can thus be tweaked to be camouflaged as different or multiple e-mail ID’s . Let’s have a look onto 3 of such best tricks to use a single 1 gmail ID as multiple ones or many ids.

    Assumption :  I will be explaining all the tricks in the article using our default GMail ID for the website – techapple.net @ gmail . com. I will be using this single gmail id to get mails from multiple ids without even creating them!

    Trick # 1 – Gmail dot (.) trick

    • This is one of the most widely used techniques to use a single E-Mail ID to sign-up for multiple accounts .
    • The Gmail dot trick consists of inserting any number of dots (.) or fullstop/period in your gmail ID username to show them as different IDs .
    • Thus, even if you send an email / or request an email on techapplenet @ gmail . com or t.e.c.h.a.p.p.l.e.n.e.t @ gmail . com it will arrive in the same e-mail ID! . (The original one)
    • The sign-up or other websites though treat them as different e-mail accounts, but in Gmail they are one! , so thus you can use a single gmail account id as multiple ones, I use this trick pretty much on signing up for free trial websites which provide freebies based on e-mail IDs.
    • So, Gmail dot trick in short –

     

    Trick # 2 – GMail plus (+) trick

     

    Trick # 3 – Using @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com

     

    Example of using the above technique –

    We have our Gmail ID registered as [email protected] , you can check how we used each of the above combiation and still received the e-mail on our default ID.

    Sending e-mail to [email protected] instead of [email protected]
    Reception of mail sent to [email protected] on the GMail ID – [email protected]

    Thus, you can use one or even all of the above methods to create multiple email or gmail ids for yourselves on just a single account! . The permutations and combinations possible are infinite! , also If you have queries/suggestions feel free to comment 🙂
